Check your phone

  1. Match the model number

    Open Settings → General → About. Match the number and original sales region against the manufacturer’s specifications.

  2. Find the eSIM settings

    Look for EID in your device information. An IMEI alone does not prove eSIM support. Check Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Service) → Add eSIM.

  3. Confirm carrier unlocking

    In Settings → General → About, Carrier Lock should say “No SIM restrictions”. If it does not, contact the original carrier. Your provider still needs to support your device.

For a device with the same name but a different full model number, use the manufacturer’s specifications for that exact version. This checker covers built-in hardware, not eSIM adapters.
